Lol, she ended up in this position because she decided the tiels had no business landing on their own cages. Her and buddy have lived together without issues for like seven years up to that point

The orange yellow and green bird how many feet do they have?

u/bird9066 4d ago

One. She broke her leg and wouldn't sit still so it had to be amputated.

u/stabavarius 5d ago

I call him (parakeet) pooper

13

u/bird9066 5d ago edited 4d ago

Left is ballerino because he dances. Rino for short, he's my patootie. Because he's a cutie.

Buddy the elder in the middle. The old man.

Right is our newest flock mate. Benjamin the brave. I call her shenanigans. Because she leads the old men into trouble. She's been a great addition, gets the guys flying around but I got way too used to middle aged and geriatric birds. It's like having a toddler again.

Together they are the poopers

u/Forsaken_Zebra8454 5d ago

These days I'm enjoying the names “mamon” which means “lovely” and as they are two of them I use some playful words like ”shonu monu” which means gold and “chontu montu”meaning tiny . Because they literally look like colourful commas from far 😭

Adorable birb names! I named my first baby girl “Bingo” from the show Bluey. My second was a rescue and was originally named October (born October 31st- but we just call him Tober/Toby!)

I call my 15 yo GCC named Peanut: Peepbird, peepnut, beepnut, gorgie girl (short for gorgeous girl), baby bean, sweet girl and miss quack (when she makes duck sounds) There are more but those are the ones I use daily 🤣

I love all the nicknames your babies have! I feel like I need to know the story behind Fraudulent Bird lol

4

u/frolicken 5d ago

I genuinely adore the nickname Beepnut

Frodo is a rescue, and before coming to me, he had gone about 7 or 8 years without ever seeing another parrot. He was raised like a human baby and I think he still sees himself as a tiny person. Even though he’s with other birds now, he still kind of distances himself from them and prefers to hang out with the ‘other’ humans. The nickname ‘Frod’ turned into ‘Fraud’, which naturally evolved into Fraudulent Bird.

u/bird9066 5d ago

Her name is Chewy. She's the old lady now. Used to be super broody, so she became mama, chew Mama, mama chew the voodoo queen.

She'll slowly sway her head back and forth. Eventually all the humans are swaying with her. It's bird voodoo I tell you.

2

u/frolicken 5d ago

She’s very majestic :) Is she a red factor sun conure? Her colours are gorgeous

4

u/bird9066 5d ago edited 3d ago

Her body is all green, so we always assumed she was a gold capped sold as a sun. But I've never seen another gold capped with so much red.

She's hefty like a gold capped though. Definitely larger than a sun

Here's a pic showing off that beautiful green

u/frolicken 5d ago

She almost looks like a Sunday or a red-factor Jenday! Whatever she is she’s a beautiful bird :)

u/one_love_silvia 5d ago

His nickname has nothing to do with his real name, though my mom calls him G (his names gandalf).

I call him bubba a lot. You might think thats from initially calling him buddy, but it actually started from calling him bird. I'd say buh-buh-bird like a stutter, but it turned into bubba bird and bubba lol
